We visited last Easter and while we weren't able to get into the first choice of restaurant we were able to get into one and had a great experiecne - we were the only English people (and only one man spoike English - he came to chat with us which was lovely), lots of big Italian families - our kids were out playing football (well it's an international language) - one of the experiences that made us decide to buy a property in Le Marche.
With the internet (or cheap calls available with VOIP or even without VOIP - it's not that much to phone Italy) you should be able to make reservations from the UK.
